== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Even though both his parents are Mexican natives, Oscar was born [[December 12]], [[1974]] in [[San Diego]]'s old Sharp Hospital. He grew up in between San Diego and [[Tijuana]], learning Spanish and English at the same time, and during his youth he studied at John L. Montgomery Middle School and later John L. Montgomery Senior High School.<br />
<br />
As his uncle [[Rey Misterio]] was a huge regional star in the [[Baja California]] area, he had attended lucha cards as much as possible since he was a little kid. He was very good at gymnastics and a big fan of lucha, so his uncle took him under his wing a few months before Rey Jr. turned 13. Needless to say, everybody was impressed by his ability to fly and do crazy things.<br />
<br />
On [[April 30]], [[1989]], at age 14, he made his professional debut at the [[Auditorio de Tijuana]] as the masked Colibrí (hummingbird). Colibri's first feud was against two brothers called Caballero de La Muerte (Death Knight) and El Salvaje. A few years later those two wrestlers would become [[Fobia]] and [[Psicosis]], respectively. The youngster's first big match was around early [[1991]] when he, along with a partner wrestled Caballero and Salvaje in a double hair/mask match. The rudos lost the match so Caballero was unmasked and Salvaje got his head shaved.<br />
<br />
He got his first title on January of [[1990]] when he captured the Light Heavyweight Title of [[Dan Farren]]'s [[Hollywood Heavyweight Wrestling]]. The promotion closed in March with him still as champ but as a funny note, once in 1990, Colibri rejected a booking to wrestle for an independent show in California due to the fact that he had to study for a history exam!<br />
<br />
A few months later, already in [[1992]], he was bigger (though still very small) and a better wrestler so he dropped out of high school, became Rey Misterio Jr. and started teaming with his uncle at Auditorio de Tijuana cards.<br />
<br />
In May of 1992, [[Antonio Peña]] started [[AAA]]. He was looking for new, young talent to fill in the undercards so he asked [[Konnan]] to get him a few good young wrestlers from the Tijuana area. In June, Peña hired Psicosis, who had already dropped his Salvaje gimmick, and a month later he hired Rey Jr. Rey and Psic, best friends in real life (in fact Psicosis was the best man at Rey Jr.'s wedding), started living together in a [[Mexico City]] apartment that [[Octagon]] rented them.<br />
<br />
Rey Jr. became really popular very quickly and he had a small undercard push from the start. His first big feud was against [[Mr. Cóndor]], the leader of "Los Diabólicos". Condor was the perfect opponent for Rey as he was a veteran wrestler who excelled at getting the best out of green flashy tecnicos, playing their strenghts and hiding their weaknesses. In August of 1992, Rey defeated Condor in his first singles mask vs. mask match ever.<br />
<br />
On [[October 28]], in what was considered a huge upset, Rey defeated [[Fantasma de la Quebrada Jr]] in [[Aguascalientes]] to get the [[Mexican National Welterweight Title]]. That was Fantasma's first fight for AAA as he had just jumped ship from [[EMLL]]; in fact, he no-showed a EMLL card that same day. Rey lost that title to [[Heavy Metal]] on [[February 26]], [[1993]].<br />
<br />
During 1993 he had an awesome rivalry with Los Destructores ([[Vulcano]], [[Tony Arce]] and [[Rocco Valente]]) who pretty much like Condor, were experienced brawlers that were great bumpers and carriers, however at this point of his career Rey already was a very good and complete worker. This feud also provided excellent six-man tag matches as longtime enemies of the original Destructores (Vulcano and Arce), [[Misterioso]] and [[Volador]], joined forces with Rey to form "La Tercia Del Aire" (Team Sky), and after Misterioso turned rudo, Heavy Metal and [[Latin Lover]] became Rey's regular partners. Misterio eventually took the hair of the three Destructores as well.<br />
<br />
The first awesome TV match Rey Jr. ever had also was in 1993, during Febrary, when he teamed with [[Winners]] and [[Super Calo]] against [[Heavy Metal]], [[Picudo]] and [[Psicosis]]. During the same month they had a rematch with was a really good bout though not as good as the first one.<br />
<br />
But his best work came when he started to feud extensively with two young and talented guys of his generation - Psicosis and [[Juventud Guerrera]]. Psicosis and Rey knew each other perfectly so they never had any problems, and Juventud was a really quick learner and he had awesome chemistry with Rey Jr. so those guys mixed in trios matches with good veterans like [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]] or [[Hijo del Santo]] provided for great weekly TV during more than two years.<br />
<br />
Just in [[1995]], Rey and Psicosis had at least four singles match of the year candidates all over the world. Konnan stablished several contacts with foreign promotions and Rey and Psicosis made their debut at the Philadelphia-based [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] on [[September 16]]. Rey and Psicosis took their feud to Japan as well as their non-tournament match stole the show at [[WAR]]'s (Wrestle And Romance or Wrestling Association R.) Super J Cup 2nd stage.<br />
<br />
Juventud Guerrera and Rey also provided incredible action all over the world as they had excellent MOTYC level matches in both Mexico and Philadelphia, and they also had pretty good matches in Japan (WAR). During the early months of 1995 the "seniors" took part in the feud as well, and the Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Juventud & Fuerza Guerrera series provided some of the best lucha tag team action ever seen.<br />
<br />
Already in [[1996]], [[Eric Bischoff]] and [[Kevin Sullivan]] from [[World Championship Wrestling]] quickly noticed Rey's potential to become popular in the US, so they signed him and he made his WCW debut on [[June 16]], losing to [[Dean Malenko]] at the Great American Bash PPV. Rey became a really popular performer very soon and broke a few myths that had been existing in the US for a long time: masked wrestlers are always boring untalented jobbers, foreign wrestlers can't get over and small wrestlers aren't as good as the heavyweights. His first title in WCW was the [[WCW Cruiserweight Championship]] he got on [[July 8]] after defeating Dean Malenko at a Monday Nitro taping held at the Orlando, Florida Disney Studios. This one would be the first out of his five cruiserweight title reigns as since his arrival to WCW he had always been either the champion or one of the top contenders for the cruiserweight strap.<br />
<br />
In WCW, Rey resumed his feuds with Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera and had new and exciting matches with Dean Malenko and [[Ultimo Dragon]]. During the 1996 era, WCW had so many great junior workers that they were one of the best promotions in the world at that time as even their weekly shows were filled with quality matches.<br />
<br />
While in Mexico, Rey still competed for AAA until October of 1996. Konnan's group (Rey, [[La Parka]], Juventud, Psicosis...) had a fallout with Antonio Peña and they all left AAA. The Azteca TV station bought the old [[PROMELL]] promotion and with the help of [[Jorge Rojas]], Konnan started a new promotion called [[Promo Azteca]] whose first TV taping was on [[November 22]] in [[Cuautitlán]]. A week later Rey Misterio Jr. made his Azteca debut teaming with [[Zorro]] and the original [[Mascara Sagrada]] to defeat [[Pirata Morgan]], [[Blue Panther]] and [[Juventud Guerrera]].<br />
<br />
One of Rey's most memorable feuds during his WCW stay was the one against [[Eddy Guerrero]] and the lWo ([[Latino World Order]]). Eddy wanted Rey in the group but he turned them down. Rey was eventually forced to join when when he lost a match to Eddy. When the group disbanded, Rey kept wrestling the shirt which gained him trouble with nWo Wolfpack members [[Kevin Nash]] and [[Scott Hall]] who didn't want any other groups in WCW other than their own. Konnan, who also was a Wolfpack member, defended Rey Jr., and that got him kicked out of the group. Things got settled on the SuperBrawl XI event held on [[February 21]], [[1999]] in [[Oakland]], [[California|CA]], when Nash and Scott Hall defeated Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr. and as a result, Rey Jr. lost his mask.<br />
<br />
Four days later Rey was supposed to lost his mask again in Tijuana against Psicosis, but the commission found out about this and threatened the promoter ([[Benjamín Mora]]) with a suspension, so the match ended up being a regular match in which Rey Jr. got the pinfall after a screwjob (Rey Sr. ran in and attacked both wrestlers); though in the end both men removed their mask (though Psicosis covered his face with a towel).<br />
<br />
Losing the mask meant a new Rey Misterio Jr., as he started wearing FUBU shirts and combat clothing. And even though he kept using amazing moves and dives, he started taking less risks in the ring but made up by developing in other areas, as for instance, he added several new counter moves to his arsenal.<br />
<br />
From then on, Rey kept having plenty of mid-card feuds in WCW. He started an alliance with (Billy) [[Kidman]] and they won the [[WCW Tag Team Titles]] from [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Dean Malenko]] on [[March 29]], [[1999]]. The feud eventually turned into a three way one and it finally was [[Perry Saturn]] and [[Raven]] who defeated Rey and Kidman in a title match. Later on the year Rey got the tag titles again, this time teaming with Konnan on [[October 18]]. They had the belts just for a week, and they lost them against the men they gained them from, [[Harlem Heat]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Oscar took several months off as he had been having severe knee trouble due to the high risks he has taken in the ring during all these years, but he's still one of the top workers of the world when his knee allows him.<br />
<br />
Rey is still very young and far from being a simple "spot machine" as his mat skills, selling of injuries in the ring and knowledge of psychology are excellent, so unless injuries and stupid booking get on the way, he'll still keep delivering excellent matches like he has done since the early days of his career.</font><br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Even though both his parents are Mexican natives, Oscar was born [[December 12]], [[1974]] in [[San Diego]]'s old Sharp Hospital. He grew up in between San Diego and [[Tijuana]], learning Spanish and English at the same time, and during his youth he studied at John L. Montgomery Middle School and later John L. Montgomery Senior High School.<br />
<br />
As his uncle [[Rey Misterio]] was a huge regional star in the [[Baja California]] area, he had attended lucha cards as much as possible since he was a little kid. He was very good at gymnastics and a big fan of lucha, so his uncle took him under his wing a few months before Rey Jr. turned 13. Needless to say, everybody was impressed by his ability to fly and do crazy things.<br />
<br />
On [[April 30]], [[1989]], at age 14, he made his professional debut at the [[Auditorio de Tijuana]] as the masked Colibrí (hummingbird). Colibri's first feud was against two brothers called Caballero de La Muerte (Death Knight) and El Salvaje. A few years later those two wrestlers would become [[Fobia]] and [[Psicosis]], respectively. The youngster's first big match was around early [[1991]] when he, along with a partner wrestled Caballero and Salvaje in a double hair/mask match. The rudos lost the match so Caballero was unmasked and Salvaje got his head shaved.<br />
<br />
He got his first title on January of [[1990]] when he captured the Light Heavyweight Title of [[Dan Farren]]'s [[Hollywood Heavyweight Wrestling]]. The promotion closed in March with him still as champ but as a funny note, once in 1990, Colibri rejected a booking to wrestle for an independent show in California due to the fact that he had to study for a history exam!<br />
<br />
A few months later, already in [[1992]], he was bigger (though still very small) and a better wrestler so he dropped out of high school, became Rey Misterio Jr. and started teaming with his uncle at Auditorio de Tijuana cards.<br />
<br />
In May of 1992, [[Antonio Peña]] started [[AAA]]. He was looking for new, young talent to fill in the undercards so he asked [[Konnan]] to get him a few good young wrestlers from the Tijuana area. In June, Peña hired Psicosis, who had already dropped his Salvaje gimmick, and a month later he hired Rey Jr. Rey and Psic, best friends in real life (in fact Psicosis was the best man at Rey Jr.'s wedding), started living together in a [[Mexico City]] apartment that [[Octagon]] rented them.<br />
<br />
Rey Jr. became really popular very quickly and he had a small undercard push from the start. His first big feud was against [[Mr. Cóndor]], the leader of "Los Diabólicos". Condor was the perfect opponent for Rey as he was a veteran wrestler who excelled at getting the best out of green flashy tecnicos, playing their strenghts and hiding their weaknesses. In August of 1992, Rey defeated Condor in his first singles mask vs. mask match ever.<br />
<br />
On [[October 28]], in what was considered a huge upset, Rey defeated [[Fantasma de la Quebrada Jr]] in [[Aguascalientes]] to get the [[Mexican National Welterweight Title]]. That was Fantasma's first fight for AAA as he had just jumped ship from [[EMLL]]; in fact, he no-showed a EMLL card that same day. Rey lost that title to [[Heavy Metal]] on [[February 26]], [[1993]].<br />
<br />
During 1993 he had an awesome rivalry with Los Destructores ([[Vulcano]], [[Tony Arce]] and [[Rocco Valente]]) who pretty much like Condor, were experienced brawlers that were great bumpers and carriers, however at this point of his career Rey already was a very good and complete worker. This feud also provided excellent six-man tag matches as longtime enemies of the original Destructores (Vulcano and Arce), [[Misterioso]] and [[Volador]], joined forces with Rey to form "La Tercia Del Aire" (Team Sky), and after Misterioso turned rudo, Heavy Metal and [[Latin Lover]] became Rey's regular partners. Misterio eventually took the hair of the three Destructores as well.<br />
<br />
The first awesome TV match Rey Jr. ever had also was in 1993, during Febrary, when he teamed with [[Winners]] and [[Super Calo]] against [[Heavy Metal]], [[Picudo]] and [[Psicosis]]. During the same month they had a rematch with was a really good bout though not as good as the first one.<br />
<br />
But his best work came when he started to feud extensively with two young and talented guys of his generation - Psicosis and [[Juventud Guerrera]]. Psicosis and Rey knew each other perfectly so they never had any problems, and Juventud was a really quick learner and he had awesome chemistry with Rey Jr. so those guys mixed in trios matches with good veterans like [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]] or [[Hijo del Santo]] provided for great weekly TV during more than two years.<br />
<br />
Just in [[1995]], Rey and Psicosis had at least four singles match of the year candidates all over the world. Konnan stablished several contacts with foreign promotions and Rey and Psicosis made their debut at the Philadelphia-based [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] on [[September 16]]. Rey and Psicosis took their feud to Japan as well as their non-tournament match stole the show at [[WAR]]'s (Wrestle And Romance or Wrestling Association R.) Super J Cup 2nd stage.<br />
<br />
Juventud Guerrera and Rey also provided incredible action all over the world as they had excellent MOTYC level matches in both Mexico and Philadelphia, and they also had pretty good matches in Japan (WAR). During the early months of 1995 the "seniors" took part in the feud as well, and the Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Juventud & Fuerza Guerrera series provided some of the best lucha tag team action ever seen.<br />
<br />
Already in [[1996]], [[Eric Bischoff]] and [[Kevin Sullivan]] from [[World Championship Wrestling]] quickly noticed Rey's potential to become popular in the US, so they signed him and he made his WCW debut on [[June 16]], losing to [[Dean Malenko]] at the Great American Bash PPV. Rey became a really popular performer very soon and broke a few myths that had been existing in the US for a long time: masked wrestlers are always boring untalented jobbers, foreign wrestlers can't get over and small wrestlers aren't as good as the heavyweights. His first title in WCW was the [[WCW Cruiserweight Championship]] he got on [[July 8]] after defeating Dean Malenko at a Monday Nitro taping held at the Orlando, Florida Disney Studios. This one would be the first out of his five cruiserweight title reigns as since his arrival to WCW he had always been either the champion or one of the top contenders for the cruiserweight strap.<br />
<br />
In WCW, Rey resumed his feuds with Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera and had new and exciting matches with Dean Malenko and [[Ultimo Dragon]]. During the 1996 era, WCW had so many great junior workers that they were one of the best promotions in the world at that time as even their weekly shows were filled with quality matches.<br />
<br />
While in Mexico, Rey still competed for AAA until October of 1996. Konnan's group (Rey, [[La Parka]], Juventud, Psicosis...) had a fallout with Antonio Peña and they all left AAA. The Azteca TV station bought the old [[PROMELL]] promotion and with the help of [[Jorge Rojas]], Konnan started a new promotion called [[Promo Azteca]] whose first TV taping was on [[November 22]] in [[Cuautitlán]]. A week later Rey Misterio Jr. made his Azteca debut teaming with [[Zorro]] and the original [[Mascara Sagrada]] to defeat [[Pirata Morgan]], [[Blue Panther]] and [[Juventud Guerrera]].<br />
<br />
One of Rey's most memorable feuds during his WCW stay was the one against [[Eddy Guerrero]] and the lWo ([[Latino World Order]]). Eddy wanted Rey in the group but he turned them down. Rey was eventually forced to join when when he lost a match to Eddy. When the group disbanded, Rey kept wrestling the shirt which gained him trouble with nWo Wolfpack members [[Kevin Nash]] and [[Scott Hall]] who didn't want any other groups in WCW other than their own. Konnan, who also was a Wolfpack member, defended Rey Jr., and that got him kicked out of the group. Things got settled on the SuperBrawl XI event held on [[February 21]], [[1999]] in [[Oakland]], [[California|CA]], when Nash and Scott Hall defeated Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr. and as a result, Rey Jr. lost his mask.<br />
<br />
Four days later Rey was supposed to lost his mask again in Tijuana against Psicosis, but the commission found out about this and threatened the promoter ([[Benjamín Mora]]) with a suspension, so the match ended up being a regular match in which Rey Jr. got the pinfall after a screwjob (Rey Sr. ran in and attacked both wrestlers); though in the end both men removed their mask (though Psicosis covered his face with a towel).<br />
<br />
Losing the mask meant a new Rey Misterio Jr., as he started wearing FUBU shirts and combat clothing. And even though he kept using amazing moves and dives, he started taking less risks in the ring but made up by developing in other areas, as for instance, he added several new counter moves to his arsenal.<br />
<br />
From then on, Rey kept having plenty of mid-card feuds in WCW. He started an alliance with (Billy) [[Kidman]] and they won the [[WCW Tag Team Titles]] from [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Dean Malenko]] on [[March 29]], [[1999]]. The feud eventually turned into a three way one and it finally was [[Perry Saturn]] and [[Raven]] who defeated Rey and Kidman in a title match. Later on the year Rey got the tag titles again, this time teaming with Konnan on [[October 18]]. They had the belts just for a week, and they lost them against the men they gained them from, [[Harlem Heat]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Oscar took several months off as he had been having severe knee trouble due to the high risks he has taken in the ring during all these years, but he's still one of the top workers of the world when his knee allows him.<br />
<br />
Rey is still very young and far from being a simple "spot machine" as his mat skills, selling of injuries in the ring and knowledge of psychology are excellent, so unless injuries and stupid booking get on the way, he'll still keep delivering excellent matches like he has done since the early days of his career.</font><br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Even though both his parents are Mexican natives, Oscar was born [[December 12]], [[1974]] in [[San Diego]]'s old Sharp Hospital. He grew up in between San Diego and [[Tijuana]], learning Spanish and English at the same time, and during his youth he studied at John L. Montgomery Middle School and later John L. Montgomery Senior High School.<br />
<br />
As his uncle [[Rey Misterio]] was a huge regional star in the [[Baja California]] area, he had attended lucha cards as much as possible since he was a little kid. He was very good at gymnastics and a big fan of lucha, so his uncle took him under his wing a few months before Rey Jr. turned 13. Needless to say, everybody was impressed by his ability to fly and do crazy things.<br />
<br />
On [[April 30]], [[1989]], at age 14, he made his professional debut at the [[Auditorio de Tijuana]] as the masked Colibrí (hummingbird). Colibri's first feud was against two brothers called Caballero de La Muerte (Death Knight) and El Salvaje. A few years later those two wrestlers would become [[Fobia]] and [[Psicosis]], respectively. The youngster's first big match was around early [[1991]] when he, along with a partner wrestled Caballero and Salvaje in a double hair/mask match. The rudos lost the match so Caballero was unmasked and Salvaje got his head shaved.<br />
<br />
He got his first title on January of [[1990]] when he captured the Light Heavyweight Title of [[Dan Farren]]'s [[Hollywood Heavyweight Wrestling]]. The promotion closed in March with him still as champ but as a funny note, once in 1990, Colibri rejected a booking to wrestle for an independent show in California due to the fact that he had to study for a history exam!<br />
<br />
A few months later, already in [[1992]], he was bigger (though still very small) and a better wrestler so he dropped out of high school, became Rey Misterio Jr. and started teaming with his uncle at Auditorio de Tijuana cards.<br />
<br />
In May of 1992, [[Antonio Peña]] started [[AAA]]. He was looking for new, young talent to fill in the undercards so he asked [[Konnan]] to get him a few good young wrestlers from the Tijuana area. In June, Peña hired Psicosis, who had already dropped his Salvaje gimmick, and a month later he hired Rey Jr. Rey and Psic, best friends in real life (in fact Psicosis was the best man at Rey Jr.'s wedding), started living together in a [[Mexico City]] apartment that [[Octagon]] rented them.<br />
<br />
Rey Jr. became really popular very quickly and he had a small undercard push from the start. His first big feud was against [[Mr. Cóndor]], the leader of "Los Diabólicos". Condor was the perfect opponent for Rey as he was a veteran wrestler who excelled at getting the best out of green flashy tecnicos, playing their strenghts and hiding their weaknesses. In August of 1992, Rey defeated Condor in his first singles mask vs. mask match ever.<br />
<br />
On [[October 28]], in what was considered a huge upset, Rey defeated [[Fantasma de la Quebrada Jr]] in [[Aguascalientes]] to get the [[Mexican National Welterweight Title]]. That was Fantasma's first fight for AAA as he had just jumped ship from [[EMLL]]; in fact, he no-showed a EMLL card that same day. Rey lost that title to [[Heavy Metal]] on [[February 26]], [[1993]].<br />
<br />
During 1993 he had an awesome rivalry with Los Destructores ([[Vulcano]], [[Tony Arce]] and [[Rocco Valente]]) who pretty much like Condor, were experienced brawlers that were great bumpers and carriers, however at this point of his career Rey already was a very good and complete worker. This feud also provided excellent six-man tag matches as longtime enemies of the original Destructores (Vulcano and Arce), [[Misterioso]] and [[Volador]], joined forces with Rey to form "La Tercia Del Aire" (Team Sky), and after Misterioso turned rudo, Heavy Metal and [[Latin Lover]] became Rey's regular partners. Misterio eventually took the hair of the three Destructores as well.<br />
<br />
The first awesome TV match Rey Jr. ever had also was in 1993, during Febrary, when he teamed with [[Winners]] and [[Super Calo]] against [[Heavy Metal]], [[Picudo]] and [[Psicosis]]. During the same month they had a rematch with was a really good bout though not as good as the first one.<br />
<br />
But his best work came when he started to feud extensively with two young and talented guys of his generation - Psicosis and [[Juventud Guerrera]]. Psicosis and Rey knew each other perfectly so they never had any problems, and Juventud was a really quick learner and he had awesome chemistry with Rey Jr. so those guys mixed in trios matches with good veterans like [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]] or [[Hijo del Santo]] provided for great weekly TV during more than two years.<br />
<br />
Just in [[1995]], Rey and Psicosis had at least four singles match of the year candidates all over the world. Konnan stablished several contacts with foreign promotions and Rey and Psicosis made their debut at the Philadelphia-based [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] on [[September 16]]. Rey and Psicosis took their feud to Japan as well as their non-tournament match stole the show at [[WAR]]'s (Wrestle And Romance or Wrestling Association R.) Super J Cup 2nd stage.<br />
<br />
Juventud Guerrera and Rey also provided incredible action all over the world as they had excellent MOTYC level matches in both Mexico and Philadelphia, and they also had pretty good matches in Japan (WAR). During the early months of 1995 the "seniors" took part in the feud as well, and the Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Juventud & Fuerza Guerrera series provided some of the best lucha tag team action ever seen.<br />
<br />
Already in [[1996]], [[Eric Bischoff]] and [[Kevin Sullivan]] from [[World Championship Wrestling]] quickly noticed Rey's potential to become popular in the US, so they signed him and he made his WCW debut on [[June 16]], losing to [[Dean Malenko]] at the Great American Bash PPV. Rey became a really popular performer very soon and broke a few myths that had been existing in the US for a long time: masked wrestlers are always boring untalented jobbers, foreign wrestlers can't get over and small wrestlers aren't as good as the heavyweights. His first title in WCW was the [[WCW Cruiserweight Championship]] he got on [[July 8]] after defeating Dean Malenko at a Monday Nitro taping held at the Orlando, Florida Disney Studios. This one would be the first out of his five cruiserweight title reigns as since his arrival to WCW he had always been either the champion or one of the top contenders for the cruiserweight strap.<br />
<br />
In WCW, Rey resumed his feuds with Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera and had new and exciting matches with Dean Malenko and [[Ultimo Dragon]]. During the 1996 era, WCW had so many great junior workers that they were one of the best promotions in the world at that time as even their weekly shows were filled with quality matches.<br />
<br />
While in Mexico, Rey still competed for AAA until October of 1996. Konnan's group (Rey, [[La Parka]], Juventud, Psicosis...) had a fallout with Antonio Peña and they all left AAA. The Azteca TV station bought the old [[PROMELL]] promotion and with the help of [[Jorge Rojas]], Konnan started a new promotion called [[Promo Azteca]] whose first TV taping was on [[November 22]] in [[Cuautitlán]]. A week later Rey Misterio Jr. made his Azteca debut teaming with [[Zorro]] and the original [[Mascara Sagrada]] to defeat [[Pirata Morgan]], [[Blue Panther]] and [[Juventud Guerrera]].<br />
<br />
One of Rey's most memorable feuds during his WCW stay was the one against [[Eddy Guerrero]] and the lWo ([[Latino World Order]]). Eddy wanted Rey in the group but he turned them down. Rey was eventually forced to join when when he lost a match to Eddy. When the group disbanded, Rey kept wrestling the shirt which gained him trouble with nWo Wolfpack members [[Kevin Nash]] and [[Scott Hall]] who didn't want any other groups in WCW other than their own. Konnan, who also was a Wolfpack member, defended Rey Jr., and that got him kicked out of the group. Things got settled on the SuperBrawl XI event held on [[February 21]], [[1999]] in [[Oakland]], [[California|CA]], when Nash and Scott Hall defeated Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr. and as a result, Rey Jr. lost his mask.<br />
<br />
Four days later Rey was supposed to lost his mask again in Tijuana against Psicosis, but the commission found out about this and threatened the promoter ([[Benjamín Mora]]) with a suspension, so the match ended up being a regular match in which Rey Jr. got the pinfall after a screwjob (Rey Sr. ran in and attacked both wrestlers); though in the end both men removed their mask (though Psicosis covered his face with a towel).<br />
<br />
Losing the mask meant a new Rey Misterio Jr., as he started wearing FUBU shirts and combat clothing. And even though he kept using amazing moves and dives, he started taking less risks in the ring but made up by developing in other areas, as for instance, he added several new counter moves to his arsenal.<br />
<br />
From then on, Rey kept having plenty of mid-card feuds in WCW. He started an alliance with (Billy) [[Kidman]] and they won the [[WCW Tag Team Titles]] from [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Dean Malenko]] on [[March 29]], [[1999]]. The feud eventually turned into a three way one and it finally was [[Perry Saturn]] and [[Raven]] who defeated Rey and Kidman in a title match. Later on the year Rey got the tag titles again, this time teaming with Konnan on [[October 18]]. They had the belts just for a week, and they lost them against the men they gained them from, [[Harlem Heat]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Oscar took several months off as he had been having severe knee trouble due to the high risks he has taken in the ring during all these years, but he's still one of the top workers of the world when his knee allows him.<br />
<br />
Rey is still very young and far from being a simple "spot machine" as his mat skills, selling of injuries in the ring and knowledge of psychology are excellent, so unless injuries and stupid booking get on the way, he'll still keep delivering excellent matches like he has done since the early days of his career.</font><br />

<br />
From then on, Rey kept having plenty of mid-card feuds in WCW. He started an alliance with (Billy) [[Kidman]] and they won the [[WCW Tag Team Titles]] from [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Dean Malenko]] on [[March 29]], [[1999]]. The feud eventually turned into a three way one and it finally was [[Perry Saturn]] and [[Raven]] who defeated Rey and Kidman in a title match. Later on the year Rey got the tag titles again, this time teaming with Konnan on [[October 18]]. They had the belts just for a week, and they lost them against the men they gained them from, [[Harlem Heat]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Oscar took several months off as he had been having severe knee trouble due to the high risks he has taken in the ring during all these years, but he's still one of the top workers of the world when his knee allows him.<br />
<br />
Rey is still very young and far from being a simple "spot machine" as his mat skills, selling of injuries in the ring and knowledge of psychology are excellent, so unless injuries and stupid booking get on the way, he'll still keep delivering excellent matches like he has done since the early days of his career.</font><br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"></font><br />
Konnan is considered to be one of the biggest stars to ever emerge from Lucha Libre. He has competed in WWE (as Max Moon), WCW, ECW, TNA, WWA, XPW and (more or less) anywhere else that is noteworthy. Konnan is partly responsible for the exposure of Lucha Libre in North America, as he headlined the AAA/IWC [[When Worlds Collide]] Pay-Per-View, as well as supplied ECW's Paul Heyman with the talent that he requested, and brought many competitors to World Championship Wrestling.<br />
<br clear=all><br />
<br />
<br />
== Real-Life Rivalry with Vampiro ==<br />
As [[Vampiro]] was quickly becoming a top star in CMLL, he soon crossed paths with Konnan, who did not take kindly to [[Vampiro]]'s instant rise to superstardom. In addition, Vampiro was offered a part in a Soap Opera, but the producers of the Soap Opera changed their mind at the last minute after learning that Vampiro's spanish-speaking skills were poor, and went with Konnan; Vampiro believed that Konnan intentially sabotaged his opportunity to extend his superstar status beyond wrestling, due to the fact that Konnan landing the role resulted in Konnan reaching celebrity status in Mexico. Legend has it that at one point, Konnan made death threats to [[Vampiro]] and his wife. <br />
<br />
The feud would carry over to World Championship Wrestling, as Konnan buried Vampiro in meetings with WCW executives as soon as Vampiro arrived in WCW. Konnan fabricated stories of substance abuse, claims that Vampiro was unreliable and claims that Vampiro was not a good worker. It has been said that [[Juventud Guerrera]] and a few more luchadores also participated in burying Vampiro as well. Between the end of 1999 and the beginning of 2000, [[Vampiro]] and Konnan resolved their differences and have been civil ever since.<br />
<br clear=all><br />
<br />
== Celebrity Status and Rap Music ==<br />
Konnan is not only a huge name in Lucha Libra, but also in Mexican culture, as he has appeared on Soap Operas and TV shows in Mexico. Mike Tenay was quoted on [[When Worlds Collide]] as stating that, "Whenever Konnan appears on TV, everyone stops what they are doing and focuses on whatever television that is around. Waitresses in restaurants will stop what they are doing and watch whatever program that Konnan appears on."<br />
<br />
Konnan also records Rap music in his spare time, as his music videos have been featured on WCW programming. Konnan also has his music available on his MySpace. <br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Eddie Guerrero, born Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes ([[October 9]], [[1967]] ? [[November 13]], [[2005]]) was an American professional wrestler of Hispanic extraction. Born into a legendary wrestling family, Guerrero managed to maintain the storied Guerrero family legacy. Through the 1990s, he had a distinguished career, working for every major professional wrestling promotion in the United States during that period: [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]], [[World Championship Wrestling]] and [[World Wrestling Entertainment]].<br />
<br />
Guerrero's in-ring character was that of a crafty, resourceful wrestler who would do anything to win a match. His famous mantra became "Cheat to Win." Despite being a heel for much of his career, he became extremely popular because of his charisma and the fact that his character seemed to largely be a reflection of himself.<br />
<br />
Throughout his career, Guerrero encountered various substance abuse problems outside of wrestling, including alcoholism and an addiction to pain killers. His problems outside of the ring were sometimes integrated into his professional wrestling storylines. Despite all these issues, Guerrero managed to be extremely popular, winning numerous titles during his career, including the [[WWE Championship]]. Guerrero became a born again Christian in [[2002]].<br />
<br />
'''Early career'''<br />
<br />
Guerrero came from a legendary wrestling family. His late father, [[Gory Guerrero]], is considered one of the greatest wrestlers in Mexican history. His three brothers [[Chavo Guerrero]], [[Hector Guerrero]] and [[Mando Guerrero]] all followed in their father's footsteps and became professional wrestlers. Guerrero's nephew, [[Chavo Guerrero, Jr.]] also became a wrestler. Guerrero's uncle [[Enrique Llanes]] and cousin [[Javier Llanes]] are popular wrestlers in Mexico.<br />
<br />
Guerrero was raised in [[El Paso]], [[Texas]] and attended the University of New Mexico as well as New Mexico Highlands University on an athletic scholarship, where he wrestled collegiately, before returning to El Paso to train as a professional wrestler. He debuted in [[1987]] in the Mexican [[Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre]] promotion. He became a star in Mexico long before he main evented in the United States.<br />
<br />
In [[1993]], Guerrero began wrestling in Japan for [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]], where he was known as Black Tiger II. In Mexico, he wrestled mainly for [[Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion]], teaming with [[El Hijo del Santo]] as the new version of La Pareja Atómica (The Atomic Pair), the legendary tag team of Gory Guerrero and [[El Santo]]. After Guerrero turned on Santo and allied with [[Art Barr]] as La Pareja del Terror (The Pair of Terror), the duo became arguably the most hated tag team in lucha libre history. Along with Barr, [[Konnan]] and [[Madonna's Boyfriend]], Guerrero formed Los Gringos Locos (The Crazy Americans), a heel stable.<br />
<br />
Guerrero and Barr's first break would come when they were noticed in late [[1994]] by the owner of Extreme Championship Wrestling, [[Paul Heyman]], and were approached about wrestling for him in [[1995]]. However, Barr died before he could join ECW with Guerrero. As an homage to his fallen friend, Guerrero adopted his friend's finishing move, the [[Frog Splash]].<br />
<br />
Guerrero won the [[ECW World Television Championship]] on his debut and went on to have a series of acclaimed matches with [[Dean Malenko]] before they both signed with World Championship Wrestling later that year. After their last match at the ECW arena, the locker room emptied and the two were carried around the ring by their fellow wrestlers while the crowd chanted "Please don't go."<br />
<br />
'''World Championship Wrestling'''<br />
<br />
In WCW, Guerrero found considerable singles success, winning the [[WCW United States Heavyweight Championship]] in late [[1996]] and the [[WCW World Cruiserweight Championship]] twice in [[1997]].<br />
<br />
Guerrero was a member of the [[Latino World Order]]. Despite Guerrero's success and popularity, he was one of many wrestlers who were frustrated at never being given a chance to be main event stars in WCW. These frustrations came to a head when Guerrero got coffee thrown at him when he requested that WCW President [[Eric Bischoff]] push his character or he asked for a raise in his pay for family reasons. Guerrerro responded by asking for a release from his WCW contract on a live episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Guerrero then left the company for a period of months, angry at Bischoff for what he had done. However, Guerrero later returned to WCW, leading to the belief that maybe Guerrero's angry speeches against Bischoff were actually worked. Guerrero would later rebut this on WWE's DVD Monday Night War claiming that he tried to put personal differences aside for the good of the company, yet found himself angry and outraged once more because of Bischoff's continued refusal to elevate Guerrero and other similar wrestlers.<br />
<br />
Guerrero responded to Bischoff's actions by forming the Latino World Order (or lWo), which was understood by the fans to be a mockery of Bischoff's New World Order. The group was an answer to Bischoff's refusal to push Latino wrestlers in ways they deserved. The group eventually grew to encompass almost all the Mexican wrestlers working for WCW at the time. However, Guerrero was involved in a serious car accident in [[1999]] that cut short the lWo storyline. Guerrero managed to survive the accident and in a matter of months he returned to wrestling.<br />
<br />
After his return, he continued to be displeased with WCW management and signed with the WWF in [[2000]] along with top WCW stars [[Chris Benoit]], Dean Malenko, and [[Perry Saturn]].<br />
<br />
'''World Wrestling Federation'''<br />
<br />
Guerrero and the other WCW wrestlers debuted in the WWF on [[January 31]], [[2000]] as The Radicalz. In March 2000, Guerrero began pursuing the affections of [[Chyna]], who he referred to as his "Mamacita." Chyna initially rejected his advances, but allied with him following WrestleMania 2000, declaring that she "couldn't resist his "Latino Heat."<br />
<br />
Guerrero won his first WWF title by defeating another former WCW wrestler, [[Chris Jericho]] for the [[WWF European Championship]]. He and Chyna began a feud with [[Essa Rios]] and [[Lita]], which culminated in a European title defence at the 2000 Backlash, which was also billed as the night of Guerrero's prom (he was said to have just earned a GED). Guerrero defeated Rios after arriving at ringside in a [[1957]] Chevrolet. Guerrero successfully retained the title in matches against Saturn and Malenko before finally losing the title to Saturn on [[July 23]].<br />
<br />
Over the next few months, friction began to build between Guerrero and Chyna. Chyna was upset when Guerrero pinned her to advance in the King of the Ring tournament. On [[August 27]], Chyna won the [[WWF Intercontinental Championship]]. Guerrero claimed to not mind and then begged Commissioner [[Mick Foley]] to let him take part in a title defense between Chyna and [[Kurt Angle]], claiming he was afraid that Angle would injure Chyna. After Angle knocked Chyna down with the title belt, Guerrero "accidentally" pinned her while trying to revive her.<br />
<br />
Chyna became visibly uncomfortable as Guerrero began to cheat in order to retain his title, while Guerrero was upset that Chyna was posing for Playboy magazine, even trying to invade the Playboy Mansion to stop the photoshoot. Just when it appeared that Chyna would leave Guerrero, he proposed to her and she accepted. The engagement was called off when Guerrero was caught showering with two of [[The Godfather]]'s hos claiming that "Two Mamacitas are better than one!" Guerrero turned heel once again as a result of the incident and was later defeated for the Intercontinental Championship by Chyna's friend [[Billy Gunn]].<br />
<br />
The Radicalz reunited in late 2000, assisting [[Triple H]] in his match with [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] at Survivor Series. In early [[2001]], Guerrero feuded with [[Andrew Martin|Test]], winning the European Championship for a second time at WrestleMania X-Seven with help from Saturn and Malenko. Guerrero eventually left the Radicalz, siding with [[The Hardy Boyz]] and Lita. At this point, Guerrero developed an addiction to pain medication stemming from his 1999 car accident and in May 2001 was sent to rehabilitation. On [[November 9]], [[2001]] he was arrested for drunk driving and was subsequently released by the WWF three days later.<br />
<br />
Guerrero then appeared with numerous independent promotions, including [[World Wrestling All-Stars]] and [[IWA Mid-South]]. He was also one of the original wrestlers in the [[Ring of Honor]] promotion. Following a number of highly acclaimed matches, such as his bout with [[Doug Williams]] at [[FWA]] British Uprising, as well as his series of matches with [[CM Punk]], he was rehired by the renamed WWE in March [[2002]]. When he signed, he was committed to one more ROH and IWA Mid-South show. WWE permitted him to fulfill the obligations, and on [[April 19]], he wrestled CM Punk and [[Colt Cabana]] in Dayton, Ohio. A little over a week later on [[April 27]], he teamed with [[The Amazing Red]] to defeat [[The S.A.T.]] at A Night of Appreciation, an ROH show dedicated to him.<br />
<br />
'''World Wrestling Entertainment'''<br />
<br />
Guerrero returned to RAW on [[April 1]], [[2002]], attacking [[Rob Van Dam]] and reuniting with Chris Benoit. On [[April 21]] at Backlash 2002 he defeated Van Dam for the Intercontinental Championship. He lost the belt to RVD a month later in a ladder match. Guerrero then started a feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, but Austin left WWE before a match could take place. Guerrero then went on to feud briefly with [[The Rock]].<br />
<br />
'''Los Guerreros'''<br />
<br />
On August 1, Guerrero and Benoit began to wrestle exclusively for WWE's SmackDown! brand. With Benoit starting to focus on Kurt Angle, Guerrero aligned himself with his nephew Chavo, forming the tag team Los Guerreros. In contrast to a previous WCW storyline with his nephew, Chavo fully adopted his uncle's policy of "Lie, Cheat and Steal" to win matches. The duo entered the eight-team tournament for the new [[WWE Tag Team Championship]] and began a feud with the newly formed tag team of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. In one of the team's definitive moments, Chavo told Benoit that his former friend Guerrero was assaulted by his tag team partner Kurt Angle. Benoit ran to make the save, only to have himself locked inside a room. Guerrero then materialised in the room and assaulted Benoit with a steel chair.<br />
<br />
Benoit and Angle managed to overcome their differences and eventually defeated Los Guerreros in the tournament semi-finals. Later on, Benoit and Angle won the WWE Tag Team Championships. Benoit and Angle then fought for a trophy for being the first WWE Tag Team Champion. Much to Benoit's surprise, Los Guerreros helped him win the match.<br />
<br />
Los Guerreros would then be given another shot at the WWE Tag Team titles and the new champions, [[Edge]] and [[Rey Mysterio Jr]]. At Survivor Series 2002, Guerrero made Mysterio submit to The Lasso From El Paso. With this victory, Los Guerreros began their reign as the WWE Tag Team Champions, a reign that lasted until they were defeated by Team Angle. Los Guerreros participated at WrestleMania XIX as contenders for the Tag Titles, along with the team of Chris Benoit and [[Rhyno]]. Prior to Judgment Day, Chavo tore his bicep. This forced Guerrero to look for another partner. He chose [[Tajiri]]. They won the Tag Titles at Judgment Day in a ladder match. The following week, Guerrero and Tajiri managed to retain their titles by cheating. In addition, they also defeated the legendary [[Roddy Piper]] and his protegè [[Sean O'Haire]]. After Guerrero and Tajiri lost the titles to Team Angle on July 1, Guerrero turned on Tajiri, slamming his partner through the windshield of his low-rider truck.<br />
<br />
In mid-2003, Guerrero competed in a tournament for the [[WWE United States Championship]]. He managed to advance to the final round, defeating [[Ultimo Dragon]] in the process, where he would meet Chris Benoit. In this match, Guerrero turned to his cheating tactics, hitting Benoit with the belt at one point in the match. Guerrero tried to get Benoit in trouble by placing the title belt on top of the unconscious Benoit. It did not work, however, since he knocked out the ref earlier with a belt shot to the kidneys. The match ended with interference by and a Gore from Rhyno, Benoit's own partner, who was furious at the team's failure. Guerrero pinned Benoit and won the United States Championship.<br />
<br />
At SummerSlam, Guerrero retained his title by defeating Rhyno, Benoit and Tajiri in a four way match. He turned face again by engaging in a rivalry with [[John Cena]]. Guerrero challenged Cena to a "Latino Heat" street fight for the United States Championship, which Guerrero won. Chavo made his return in this match, assisting Guerrero in executing his Frog Splash on Cena. On [[September 16]], [[2003]], Los Guerreros defeated The World's Greatest Tag Team to regain the WWE Tag Team Championships. Eddie Guerrero thus held the United States Championship and one-half of the Tag Team Championships concurrently.<br />
<br />
Guerrero lost the United States Championship to [[The Big Show]] at No Mercy 2003 in October after a feud which involved Guerrero poisoning the Big Show with some laxative laced burritos and then later spraying the Big Show with a sewage truck. Four days later, Los Guerreros would lose the WWE Tag Team Championship to the Basham Brothers. As Los Guerreros attempted to regain the tag team titles, things began to go downhill between Chavo and Guerrero, and the two fought one another at the [[2004]] Royal Rumble in a match that was won by Guerrero.<br />
<br />
'''WWE Champion'''<br />
<br />
As Guerrero's popularity grew, he began seeking the WWE Championship. In a storyline, Guerrero's singles success made Chavo jealous and Chavo broke from the team.<br />
<br />
During the summer of 2003, Guerrero had begun driving a customized lowrider to ringside as part of his ring entrance. Guerrero would also capitalize on his "Lie, Cheat, and Steal" anti-hero image by brazenly using illegal tactics behind the referee's back to win matches on occasion. He was well known for hitting someone with a steel chair (or handing the opponent the steel chair and then pretending to be knocked out himself, just as the referee turned around), or using illegal weapons during the match. Despite (or possibly because of) his immoral tactics, Guerrero continued to increase in popularity.<br />
<br />
On [[February 15]], [[2004]] Guerrero won the [[WWE Championship]] at No Way Out 2004, defeating [[Brock Lesnar]] following interference from [[Bill Goldberg]]. He would enjoy many months of success as champion, which included a win against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XX as well as victories over the Big Show and Rey Mysterio. He would later lose the title to [[Vampiro Americano|John "Bradshaw" Layfield]], due to Angle's interference. At SummerSlam, Angle made Guerrero submit to the Ankle Lock. Guerrero then allied himself with the Big Show, who also despised Kurt Angle for firing him while Angle was still SmackDown! general manager.<br />
<br />
Each week Angle and his new allies [[Luther Reigns]] and [[Marcos Corleone|Mark Jindrak]] began targeting Guerrero and the Big Show. General Manager [[Theodore Long]] booked a Survivor Series Elimination Match between a team led by Guerrero and a team led by Kurt Angle. Guerrero's team consisted of himself, Big Show, Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam. The following week, Guerrero was forced to find another member for his team because Rey Mysterio had just been given an opportunity to regain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Guerrero selected John Cena, who was feuding with [[Carlito]], a member of Angle's Survivor Series team. At Survivor Series, Guerrero landed the Frog Splash on Kurt Angle for the victory.<br />
<br />
Guerrero, along with [[Booker T]] and [[The Undertaker]], then challenged John "Bradshaw" Layfield for a WWE Championship rematch. Along the way, Guerrero found a partner in Booker T. Despite losing two matches in a row as a tag team, Guerrero and Booker managed to get along. At Armageddon, Guerrero and Booker worked as a unit, taking down both Bradshaw and Undertaker. However, during the match, the two broke away from the team and made it clear that it was every man for themselves. Guerrero would then be taken out by The Undertaker while Bradshaw pinned Booker following the Clothesline From Hell. Afterwards, Guerrero and Booker briefly and unsuccessfully attempted to win the WWE Tag Team Championships.<br />
<br />
'''Feud with Rey Mysterio'''<br />
<br />
On [[February 20]], [[2005]], Guerrero once again became a tag team champion, this time with long time friend and sometimes rival Rey Mysterio when they defeated [[Doug Basham|Doug]] and [[Danny Basham]] at No Way Out 2005.<br />
<br />
Many expected the new champions to defend their titles at WrestleMania 21, but after encouragement from Chavo, instead Guerrero challenged Rey to a one-on-one match so they could "bring the house down." The two wrestled a match at WrestleMania with Mysterio getting the win. Although visibly frustrated, Guerrero congratulated his partner. After several mishaps in the weeks following WrestleMania, the growing tension between Guerrero and Mysterio finally erupted when they lost their tag titles to new team [[Melina Perez|M]][[John Hennigan|N]][[Joey Matthews|M]] on the [[April 21]] episode of SmackDown! Although they received a match to regain the titles, Guerrero turned heel once again by abandoning his partner, who he had dubbed "his family" earlier in the show.<br />
<br />
'''Eddie Guerrero in 2005'''<br />
<br />
Guerrero then adopted a new, somewhat sociopathic gimmick. During this time, he also stopped driving his low-riders down the ring and walked to the ring with a frown on his face, and reverted to using the Lasso from El Paso as his finishing move. At the end of one edition of SmackDown!, he viciously and emotionlessly beat up his former tag team partner, leaving him bruised and bloody after suplexing him onto a set of steel steps. At Judgment Day 2005 on [[May 22]], Guerrero lost to Mysterio by disqualification.<br />
<br />
Several weeks after the match at Judgment Day, Guerrero threatened to reveal a secret about Rey and Rey's son Dominick. The storyline (which involved equal parts of work and truth, and had Rey's full approval) grew to involve the families of both men, with both sides pleading for Guerrero not to reveal the secret. Rey defeated Guerrero at the Great American Bash, a match with a stipulation that if Guerrero lost, he would not tell the secret. Yet Guerrero revealed the secret any way on the following episode of SmackDown! - telling Dominick and the audience that Guerrero was his real father. The following weeks had Guerrero revealing the details of the secret in a series of what he called "Eddie's Bedtime Stories". He claimed that he had a child out of wedlock (Dominick) while his marriage was going through hard times. He claimed he then allowed Mysterio and his wife, who were "having trouble conceiving", to adopt the child as their own.<br />
<br />
At SummerSlam 2005, Guerrero lost a ladder match over Dominick's custody to Mysterio. Their emotional feud ended at the premiere of Friday Night SmackDown!, where Guerrero finally gained a victory over Mysterio in a steel cage match.<br />
<br />
'''World Heavyweight Championship contender'''<br />
<br />
Following his feud with Rey Mysterio, Guerrero was named number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship and given a title match with [[Dave Batista|Batista]] at No Mercy 2005. Despite this, Guerrero quickly proclaimed himself to be Batista's friend. However, Batista was wary of Guerrero and a series of matches with MNM only supported his suspicions, as Guerrero appeared to have reverted to his cheating ways. In response to Batista's suspicions, Guerrero helped Batista win a match against his tag team partners, John "Bradshaw" Layfield and [[Jay Reso|Christian]].<br />
<br />
Batista defeated Guerrero at No Mercy to retain his World title. During the match, Guerrero struggled with a decision about whether or not to use a steel chair to secure the victory, eventually opting not to use it and losing as a result. Though the two demonstrated mutual respect after the match, Guerrero seemed displeased by the loss. Eventually, Batista and Guerrero would become allies against [[Randy Orton]], [[Bob Orton]] and [[Ken Kennedy]]. Guerrero would tell Batista that he realized how low he had sunk since being WWE Champion in 2004, having attacked his best friend Rey Mysterio. Guerrero told him that Batista shaking his hand at No Mercy had returned his respect to him.<br />
<br />
On the November 11 edition of Friday Night SmackDown!, Eddie Guerrero wrestled what turned out to be the final televised match of his career, a victory by disqualification using his trademark cheating tactics over Ken Kennedy.<br />
<br />
'''Death'''<br />
<br />
On [[November 13]], [[2005]], Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Marriott City Center Hotel by his nephew, Chavo. Several hours later, WWE.com released the following announcement:<br />
<br />
"WWE is deeply saddened by the news that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. He was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3."<br />
<br />
The same day, WWE held a press conference with a speech from his nephew Chavo, who spoke of Guerrero's four years of sobriety that would have come on November 15 of that year. Chavo adamantly defended his uncle, saying he had defeated his "personal demons." WWE Chairman [[Vince McMahon]] declined to speculate on the causes of Guerrero's death, and both men said that Guerrero would have "wanted the show to go on."<br />
<br />
'''Cause'''<br />
<br />
An autopsy revealed that Guerrero died as a result of acute heart failure, caused by undiagnosed arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease and enlargement of the heart as a result of prior anabolic steroid abuse. Although Guerrero had not taken alcohol or illicit drugs for over four years, his past excesses contributed to his heart failure. At the time of his death, he had recently used narcotics.<br />
<br />
Guerrero's wife Vicky said that he had been lethargic and unwell in the week preceding his death, but that this had been attributed to the stress of continuously traveling and performing. She added that the doctors had told her that Guerrero's blood vessels had shriveled and weakened owing to undiagnosed heart disease, and that he had simply dropped into a deep sleep.<br />
<br />
On the [[November 30]], [[2005]] edition of Byte This!, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. said that Guerrero had been working very hard and was at peak physical fitness as a result, doing cardiovascular and weight training exercises every day. There had been no symptoms or cause for concern. Guerrero, Jr. noted that, while many people abuse drugs for over ten years with no ill effects, Guerrero, despite having ceased to abuse drugs four years earlier, had suffered heart complications that were not detected in time to prevent his death.<br />
<br />
'''Events following Guerrero's death'''<br />
<br />
An emotional Chavo Guerrero performs at the SmackDown! tribute show to his late uncle. See also: Tributes to Eddie Guerrero. On the day of his death, Guerrero was set to face Batista and Randy Orton in a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship on the [[November 13]] taping of Friday Night SmackDown! (which would have aired on [[November 18]]). [[Stephanie McMahon]] hinted that Guerrero had been scheduled to defeat Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, which would have begun Guerrero's first reign as World Heavyweight Champion.<br />
<br />
The episodes of RAW on [[November 14]], [[2005]], and Friday Night SmackDown! on November 18, 2005, each aired as a tribute to Eddie Guerrero. No WWE employees were compelled to perform, although several matches took place, including one featuring Chavo. These shows were similar in format to the RAW is Owen special edition of RAW, which paid tribute to the late [[Owen Hart]], and the SmackDown! special in [[Houston, Texas]] two days after the [[September 11]], [[2001]] attacks. In addition to the RAW and SmackDown! tribute shows, [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] dedicated the pay-per-view TNA Genesis (which aired the evening of his passing) to Guerrero.<br />
<br />
Eddie Guerrero's funeral took place on Thursday, [[November 17]] in [[Phoenix, Arizona]] at Green Acres Cemetery. The private service was performed by retired wrestler [["Superstar" Billy Graham]]. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Vince McMahon, [[Tom Prichard]], all of Guerrero's brothers, one of his sisters, Chavo Guerrero and Valerie Coleman Graham all spoke at the funeral. Wrestlers and wrestling personalities from all around the world of wrestling were in attendance, including:<br />
<br />
[[Billy Anderson]], Stone Cold Steve Austin, Doug Basham, Chris Benoit, Christian, CM Punk, [[Tommy Drake]], [[Kevin Dunn]], Edge, [[Jackie Gayda]], [[Charlie Haas]], [[Michael Hayes]], [[Gregory Helms]], Chris Jericho, Mark Jindrak, Konnan, [[Billy Kidman]], [[Gail Kim]], [[John Laurinaitis]], John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Lita, Dean Malenko, [[Linda McMahon]], [[Shane McMahon]], Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon, Rey Mysterio Jr, [[Jamie Noble]], [[Bruce Prichard]], Tom Prichard, [[Raven]], [[Sting]], [[Mike Tenay]] and [[Torrie Wilson]]. <br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Even though both his parents are Mexican natives, Oscar was born [[December 12]], [[1974]] in [[San Diego]]'s old Sharp Hospital. He grew up in between San Diego and [[Tijuana]], learning Spanish and English at the same time, and during his youth he studied at John L. Montgomery Middle School and later John L. Montgomery Senior High School.<br />
<br />
As his uncle [[Rey Misterio]] was a huge regional star in the [[Baja California]] area, he had attended lucha cards as much as possible since he was a little kid. He was very good at gymnastics and a big fan of lucha, so his uncle took him under his wing a few months before Rey Jr. turned 13. Needless to say, everybody was impressed by his ability to fly and do crazy things.<br />
<br />
On [[April 30]], [[1989]], at age 14, he made his professional debut at the [[Auditorio de Tijuana]] as the masked Colibrí (hummingbird). Colibri's first feud was against two brothers called Caballero de La Muerte (Death Knight) and El Salvaje. A few years later those two wrestlers would become [[Fobia]] and [[Psicosis]], respectively. The youngster's first big match was around early [[1991]] when he, along with a partner wrestled Caballero and Salvaje in a double hair/mask match. The rudos lost the match so Caballero was unmasked and Salvaje got his head shaved.<br />
<br />
He got his first title on January of [[1990]] when he captured the Light Heavyweight Title of [[Dan Farren]]'s [[Hollywood Heavyweight Wrestling]]. The promotion closed in March with him still as champ but as a funny note, once in 1990, Colibri rejected a booking to wrestle for an independent show in California due to the fact that he had to study for a history exam!<br />
<br />
A few months later, already in [[1992]], he was bigger (though still very small) and a better wrestler so he dropped out of high school, became Rey Misterio Jr. and started teaming with his uncle at Auditorio de Tijuana cards.<br />
<br />
In May of 1992, [[Antonio Peña]] started [[AAA]]. He was looking for new, young talent to fill in the undercards so he asked [[Konnan]] to get him a few good young wrestlers from the Tijuana area. In June, Peña hired Psicosis, who had already dropped his Salvaje gimmick, and a month later he hired Rey Jr. Rey and Psic, best friends in real life (in fact Psicosis was the best man at Rey Jr.'s wedding), started living together in a [[Mexico City]] apartment that [[Octagon]] rented them.<br />
<br />
Rey Jr. became really popular very quickly and he had a small undercard push from the start. His first big feud was against [[Mr. Cóndor]], the leader of "Los Diabólicos". Condor was the perfect opponent for Rey as he was a veteran wrestler who excelled at getting the best out of green flashy tecnicos, playing their strenghts and hiding their weaknesses. In August of 1992, Rey defeated Condor in his first singles mask vs. mask match ever.<br />
<br />
On [[October 28]], in what was considered a huge upset, Rey defeated [[Fantasma de la Quebrada Jr]] in [[Aguascalientes]] to get the [[Mexican National Welterweight Title]]. That was Fantasma's first fight for AAA as he had just jumped ship from [[EMLL]]; in fact, he no-showed a EMLL card that same day. Rey lost that title to [[Heavy Metal]] on [[February 26]], [[1993]].<br />
<br />
During 1993 he had an awesome rivalry with Los Destructores ([[Vulcano]], [[Tony Arce]] and [[Rocco Valente]]) who pretty much like Condor, were experienced brawlers that were great bumpers and carriers, however at this point of his career Rey already was a very good and complete worker. This feud also provided excellent six-man tag matches as longtime enemies of the original Destructores (Vulcano and Arce), [[Misterioso]] and [[Volador]], joined forces with Rey to form "La Tercia Del Aire" (Team Sky), and after Misterioso turned rudo, Heavy Metal and [[Latin Lover]] became Rey's regular partners. Misterio eventually took the hair of the three Destructores as well.<br />
<br />
The first awesome TV match Rey Jr. ever had also was in 1993, during Febrary, when he teamed with [[Winners]] and [[Super Calo]] against [[Heavy Metal]], [[Picudo]] and [[Psicosis]]. During the same month they had a rematch with was a really good bout though not as good as the first one.<br />
<br />
But his best work came when he started to feud extensively with two young and talented guys of his generation - Psicosis and [[Juventud Guerrera]]. Psicosis and Rey knew each other perfectly so they never had any problems, and Juventud was a really quick learner and he had awesome chemistry with Rey Jr. so those guys mixed in trios matches with good veterans like [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]] or [[Hijo del Santo]] provided for great weekly TV during more than two years.<br />
<br />
Just in [[1995]], Rey and Psicosis had at least four singles match of the year candidates all over the world. Konnan stablished several contacts with foreign promotions and Rey and Psicosis made their debut at the Philadelphia-based [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] on [[September 16]]. Rey and Psicosis took their feud to Japan as well as their non-tournament match stole the show at [[WAR]]'s (Wrestle And Romance or Wrestling Association R.) Super J Cup 2nd stage.<br />
<br />
Juventud Guerrera and Rey also provided incredible action all over the world as they had excellent MOTYC level matches in both Mexico and Philadelphia, and they also had pretty good matches in Japan (WAR). During the early months of 1995 the "seniors" took part in the feud as well, and the Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Juventud & Fuerza Guerrera series provided some of the best lucha tag team action ever seen.<br />
<br />
Already in [[1996]], [[Eric Bischoff]] and [[Kevin Sullivan]] from [[World Championship Wrestling]] quickly noticed Rey's potential to become popular in the US, so they signed him and he made his WCW debut on [[June 16]], losing to [[Dean Malenko]] at the Great American Bash PPV. Rey became a really popular performer very soon and broke a few myths that had been existing in the US for a long time: masked wrestlers are always boring untalented jobbers, foreign wrestlers can't get over and small wrestlers aren't as good as the heavyweights. His first title in WCW was the [[WCW Cruiserweight Championship]] he got on [[July 8]] after defeating Dean Malenko at a Monday Nitro taping held at the Orlando, Florida Disney Studios. This one would be the first out of his five cruiserweight title reigns as since his arrival to WCW he had always been either the champion or one of the top contenders for the cruiserweight strap.<br />
<br />
In WCW, Rey resumed his feuds with Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera and had new and exciting matches with Dean Malenko and [[Ultimo Dragon]]. During the 1996 era, WCW had so many great junior workers that they were one of the best promotions in the world at that time as even their weekly shows were filled with quality matches.<br />
<br />
While in Mexico, Rey still competed for AAA until October of 1996. Konnan's group (Rey, [[La Parka]], Juventud, Psicosis...) had a fallout with Antonio Peña and they all left AAA. The Azteca TV station bought the old [[PROMELL]] promotion and with the help of [[Jorge Rojas]], Konnan started a new promotion called [[Promo Azteca]] whose first TV taping was on [[November 22]] in [[Cuautitlán]]. A week later Rey Misterio Jr. made his Azteca debut teaming with [[Zorro]] and the original [[Mascara Sagrada]] to defeat [[Pirata Morgan]], [[Blue Panther]] and [[Juventud Guerrera]].<br />
<br />
One of Rey's most memorable feuds during his WCW stay was the one against [[Eddy Guerrero]] and the lWo ([[Latino World Order]]). Eddy wanted Rey in the group but he turned them down. Rey was eventually forced to join when when he lost a match to Eddy. When the group disbanded, Rey kept wrestling the shirt which gained him trouble with nWo Wolfpack members [[Kevin Nash]] and [[Scott Hall]] who didn't want any other groups in WCW other than their own. Konnan, who also was a Wolfpack member, defended Rey Jr., and that got him kicked out of the group. Things got settled on the SuperBrawl XI event held on [[February 21]], [[1999]] in [[Oakland]], [[California|CA]], when Nash and Scott Hall defeated Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr. and as a result, Rey Jr. lost his mask.<br />
<br />
Four days later Rey was supposed to lost his mask again in Tijuana against Psicosis, but the commission found out about this and threatened the promoter ([[Benjamín Mora]]) with a suspension, so the match ended up being a regular match in which Rey Jr. got the pinfall after a screwjob (Rey Sr. ran in and attacked both wrestlers); though in the end both men removed their mask (though Psicosis covered his face with a towel).<br />
<br />
Losing the mask meant a new Rey Misterio Jr., as he started wearing FUBU shirts and combat clothing. And even though he kept using amazing moves and dives, he started taking less risks in the ring but made up by developing in other areas, as for instance, he added several new counter moves to his arsenal.<br />
<br />
From then on, Rey kept having plenty of mid-card feuds in WCW. He started an alliance with (Billy) [[Kidman]] and they won the [[WCW Tag Team Titles]] from [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Dean Malenko]] on [[March 29]], [[1999]]. The feud eventually turned into a three way one and it finally was [[Perry Saturn]] and [[Raven]] who defeated Rey and Kidman in a title match. Later on the year Rey got the tag titles again, this time teaming with Konnan on [[October 18]]. They had the belts just for a week, and they lost them against the men they gained them from, [[Harlem Heat]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Oscar took several months off as he had been having severe knee trouble due to the high risks he has taken in the ring during all these years, but he's still one of the top workers of the world when his knee allows him.<br />
<br />
Rey is still very young and far from being a simple "spot machine" as his mat skills, selling of injuries in the ring and knowledge of psychology are excellent, so unless injuries and stupid booking get on the way, he'll still keep delivering excellent matches like he has done since the early days of his career.</font><br />
